Tim Hortons Copycat Chocolate Chip Muffins
These Tim Hortons copycat chocolate chip muffins are just like the real thing but dare I say, even better. Super soft with beautiful domes, chocked full of chocolate chips and the traditional sugar on top!
Ingredients
- 3 1/3 cups (400g) all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 cups (280g) mini semi sweet chocolate chips (additional for topping)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cup (250g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (76g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup (60g) canola oil
- 2/3 cup (160g) sour cream
- 1 cup (250g) whole milk (or any kind of milk other than skim)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Sanding or turbinado sugar for topping
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mini chocolate chips. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Whisk until well combined. Add the melted butter, oil, sour cream, milk and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and whisk until just combined. Let batter rest for 20 minutes and preheat the oven to 425℉ while you wait.
- Line or spray 12 tins on 2 different pans, alternating so there's space between each muffin or 12 tins in one pan (*see notes). Fill each tin so it's slightly overflowing. As we've rested the batter, it won't actually spill out the sides. Then top each muffin with more chocolate chips and turbinado or sanding sugar if you like.
- Bake at 425℉ for 8 minutes and then without opening the oven door, drop the temperature to 350℉ and bake for an additional 22-28 minutes or until they have started to turn golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to fully cool before storing in airtight container for up to 3 days and enjoy!
Notes
*If you want taller domes and want to ensure the muffins don't bake into each other, line every other tin. So you'll have 2, 1, 2, 1 tins lined or the opposite. This is optional but the muffins may bake into each other a little if all 12 are in the same tin. They won't rise as much either.
